Badgers Mount Hotel

Waited a while to dine at this establishment. Tried so many times to book on line but never able to get a table so I thought it must be an excellent place! Food was very mediocre. 4/10. When I eat out I do so to eat food I couldn't reproduce at home. Very surprised at what was given. Lots of tables empty which I found strange for a Friday night as I've tried on a number of occasions to book a few days in advance without success. We did state it was mediocre. We had made comments about some of the dishes however, when the bill came my partner checked it (which we don't normally but we had a bet about how much the awful food would cost). My partner enquired if the wine was £35 and I knew it was about £28 so we questioned it. The waiter came back and stated I was correct, and that it was the till that had charged the wrong amount, so please ensure you check your bill. Bad enough the £7 bottle of supermarket wine inflated by 400%! Wouldn't return. Kids running around a few times screaming without parents asking them to be quiet, all whilst a lovely gentleman was playing guitar and signing to seven people. Other people complaining about their food which was completely different, so it wasn't just the tapas. Such a shame, and ruined a night out.

Recently stayed for two nights, a return visit after two years. A very positive experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient, starting with the lady at reception and continuing with Dee and all those in the bar/restaurant. Our room was comfortable, clean, and surprisingly quiet at night. The bed was comfortable with a choice of pillows. We ate in the restaurant and the food was exceptional. If I were to quibble at all I would say the breakfast was on the expensive side ( not included in the room rate ) but overall I would highly recommend this hotel.

Our family came here on Christmas day (2024), and we were not disappointed! We were greeted by a very friendly member of staff who offered to take our coats, and we were shown through to the dining room. There were welcome drinks upon arrival of either warm mulled wine or a non alcohol drink (maybe an option of prosecco would be nice). It wasn't quite time for our table yet so we enjoyed having a drink in the bar before our meal, and everywhere looked beautifully festive including the staff who were all lovely, very polite, and professional. Once it was time for the table we were shown through to the marquee that looked so magical like a winter wonderland with a stunning tree, perfectly dressed tables, lights above/decor, Christmas music playing, and a sparkly Xmas cracker for each guest. The food was absolutely AMAZING! We had the vegetarian options, and thoroughly enjoyed every course! 😋 the only minor change would be to have vegetarian gravy with our delicious main meal. Our other family members also really enjoyed their meal options including a traditional roast dinner. The mince pies and the other sweet treats at the end to finish the meal was also a lovely touch! During our fabulous dining experience, we were also surprised with a visit from Santa that was enjoyed by both the adults and younger guests. We had a brilliant time from start to finish, and it really was the Christmas we had wished for. A big thank you to all the staff at Badgers Mount for making it so perfect, and we will hopefully see you in 2025! The Taylor, Norman, and Mayne family. 🎅
